Wear Resistance

HAYNES® 25 alloy exhibits excellent resistance to metal galling and cavitation. Metal-to-Metal Galling results shown below were generated for standard matching material room-temperature pin on disc tests. Wear depths are given as a function of applied load. Cavitation tests were performed in accordance with ASTM G 32 water at 16°C, with a frequency of 20 kHz and an amplitude of 0.05 mm. The results of the wear tests indicate that 25 alloy is superior in galling and cavitation resistance to many materials, and is surpassed only by ULTIMET® alloy and HAYNES® 6B alloy. Both of these materials were specifically designed to have excellent wear resistance.
